How do you see De La Hoya's career?

[strugler]

do you give the man respect or not? thats what im wondering. He fought for money, but who doesn't these days. At least he fought Elite fighters time after time, and really, he didn't duck nobody in my opinion. In his prime, he would cause a big problem to any ATG at 147-154.
But how do you see his Boxing career. not his personal life when he wore girl clothes, because that **** is hilarious, but has nothing to do with boxing.

He quit on the stool, but so did Chavez, and Duran quit in the middle of a round, and they are both top 25 ATG in many peoples list.
He did lose a lot of his big fights, but he always performed.

So how do you respect de la hoyas carrer or not? reasons why or why not

If it ended right now i guess ill respect it..... i guess. Who wouldnt he fought the best but refused some rematch in my opinion.Can he still be an ATG? Im leaning towards NO, He did give boxing many things but he did many ****** things too. Yes he should be respected but not overrated.

Respect him but didn't find him to be that good, you couldn't call him a journeyman but in reality he lost to most of the top flight opposition he faced.

I'd like to see him take on Trinidad or Mosley and finish. Probably Trinidad as they've both looked past it and have a score to settle.

What weight would Oscar and Trinidad fight at? I mean, realistically, it is a guy who fought at welterweight in his last fight against a guy who fought at LHW in his last fight.

Makes little to no sense.

Mosley would dice Oscar's ass to shreds at this stage. He shows he still has it and Oscar just doesn't, at all.

Ahh of course, I forgot the Jones fight was at such a heavy weight. Still Oscar fought B Hop who's now a light heavy, I daresay Trinidad could and would be willing to make a catchweight around the middle to super middleweight.

It's more just an idea if either of them wanted one more fight and pay day it makes sense.

Oscar had a fantastic career, he faced every legit opponet that was anywhere near his division.

People like to **** on him for dropping the ball in some of his biggest fights, and especially the Pac loss.

But facts are facts.

[The Great Shark]

He gets my respect, but his performances as of late is starting to make his career look like nothing but a big check with a bunch of zeros on it if you know what I mean.

[taino78]

great career but he needs to say enough. all hes proving now is being able to sell a fight

[strugler]

I applaud Oscar for being a promoter and a fighter at the same time.....but something must give..........His role as a promoter is taking too much a toll in him being a fighter....."If i dont knock out pacquiao ill consider this fight as a failure" comment as Oscar the promoter, then Oscar the fighter underperform and quit like a *****...you cant do both..imo.

[Golden Boy 360]

respected............

[RiZo is Gay]

Oscar has done so much for boxing,
inside and outside the ring!
Hard not to respect what he has done

[Mugwump]

The Oscar the put Chavez away twice was a great fighter. No doubts about it. He had everything. Speed. Adaptability. Workrate. And heavy hands. People often forget just how hard a hitter Oscar was in his early days. Which makes his pathetic showing against Manny all the more unpleasant. In his prime, Oscar could have beaten TWO Pacs in the same ring at once.

ATG. But he needs to quit - yesterday.
